Chapter I

HYMN 7 Soma Pavamana

1

Some, the men of old whose grass was trimmed addressed the hymn to thee for mighty strength and for renown:
So, hero, urge us onward to heroic power'

2

All round about hast thou with glory pierced for us as 'twere a never-failing well for men to drink,
Borne on thy way as 'twere in fragments from both arms.

3

Thou didst produce him, deathless one! for mortal man, for maintenance of Law and lovely Amrita:
Thou evermore hast moved making wealth flow to us.
